Victor and Margalit Halvani lived in Safed for 35 years, as members of the artist’s Colony society. They built their home there and managed a successful art gallery, drawing art collectors from around the world. In 2010, when the Halvani square in Safed was dedicated, the couple received the distinction “Beloved of the city Safed”, and won praises from the mayor – Ilan Shochet, for their contribution to the advancement of the city’s art and culture. Victor’s sculptures are displayed at two major squares in the city, in gardens and in the Yigal Alon culture centre’s courtyard, there is no resident in town who doesn’t recognize his works.

In 1990 Victor, in collaboration with the Halvani artist association and the Safed municipality headed by Zeev Pearl, launched the Victor Halvani sculpture park. The first phases of the park and sculptures were donated by the late Mr. Irvin Young, a devoted collector of Victor’s art. The park is on the outskirts of Safed – on the road between Rosh Pina and Safed. Large outdoor sculptures were placed in the garden – “The binding of Isaac”, constituted of seven large sculptures which join together to form a sculptured story, and additional sculptures such as “Trojan horse return”, “Miriam with the drum”, “Space age family”, “Hope for peace”, and “Ruth and Naomi”.
